Chicago Insurgency
Minaret area before the most of the city, Karbala 64
.86
This happened very close to the end of the round but I think it may have been going on for longer than that simply because of the nature of the problem (it can be used to a players advantage) and that because one of the apparent symptoms also occurred earlier on in the round.
Basically, there was a player whose name started with 'Alex' he was on the coalition team (as was I for one of the few insurgency rounds where I end up being coalition...normally they outnumber the insurgents and I join them and I prefer the Ins anyways).
He was in a squad and then he must left a squad or for the sake of the result of the problem it is likely that he could have been team switched.
Then, I get a message saying he had left my squad TWICE (he never joined my squad to begin with).
Then I decide I'm going to switch to the VOIP INF squad because there's a slot free. The squad is now full because I got the last slot - hooray.
Then, I get a message saying he had left my squad TWICE (he never joined my squad to begin with)....Spooky!
My squad are approaching the minaret area on foot (they are setting up on roofs and covering some of the entrance points to the built up area in the middle of the map). I was one of the two who was going into the cache zone.
I was in front and as always I checked my map for friendlies and what do I see - TWO big green circles with the number 3 written inside it.
One of them is in front of me and I just think oh well just a small bug and a squad member probably managed to get over there. I start running towards it and take fire (from the direction of one of the supposed squad leaders that I was running towards).
I can't actually see the SL so I assume it's an enemy in roughly the same place. More bullets start landing towards me from the same direction and then I see someone from my team go inside the building where the fire was coming from (I also happen to see the tag because this is supposedly a friendly unit, it was Alex) and then hear a few bursts.
I think to myself: That's a pretty awesome TK (awesome team kills don't actually exist).
It came up on the screen as a TK. I run into the building and I, Inspector Corpse, inspect the corpse. It turns out it was an insurgent and the kit is still there!
There's no doubt what this could mean....

The truth is out there. The truth may be bugged though and may not actually correspond to the real truth because it is PR but it is ALWAYS out there.
